KIN 3502 Final Exam questions and
answers Latest 2025
what can lead to error - ANS -measurement process: instrumentation, scoring
units, precision
-test: length/difficulty
-evaluator: competence level
-performers: skill, motivation, fatigue
which type of error can't be eliminated - ANS random
T/F: you should always test people when they are at their best and let them choose
the time and place - ANS True
types of reliability - ANS -internal consistency
-stability
-inter-rater reliability
internal consistency reliability - ANS the degree to which an individual's scores
are unchanged within a day
which types of test can you and can you not use to measure internal consistency -
ANS CAN: psychological tests (questioners) or skills test (throwing a ball)
CANNOT: maximal tests (VO2, 1RM, 1.5 mile run)
is internal consistency reliability usually higher or lower than stability coefficient - ANS
higher because it is not effected by day to day changes
, stability reliability - ANS the degree to which individuals scores are unchanged from
day to day
how to measure stability reliability - ANS test-retest
factors that affect stability - ANS -individual performance varies
-measuring instrument operates/applied differently -variability
among testers
acceptable reliability - ANS reliability coefficient is calculated to determine if a tests
measurements are accepted as reliable
general guide for acceptable reliability - ANS .70-.79 is below average but acceptable
.80-.89 is average and acceptable
.90+ is above average and acceptable
inter-rater reliability - ANS when you have multiple scorers scoring something;
how close the scores are related
inter-rater reliability depends on - ANS -clarity of the scoring system
-degree to which the judge can assign scores accurately
inter-rater reliability is determined by - ANS -intraclass correlation (across judges)
criterion reference scores - ANS pass/fail
